This news will not go down well among Barcelona fans that wanted Pep to coach his beloved Blaugranas one more time.
Speaking in Tuesday's press conference in Monaco, the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager vehemently ruled out the possibility of coaching Los Culés ever again.
"My period in Barcelona is done. So I will never come back as the first manager of Barcelona, never again, it's done," Guardiola stated.
Guardiola was forced to make this statement after various sources claimed he was one of the frontrunners to take over Barcelona's coaching job when the season comes to a close.
Speaking about Wednesday's clash against Monaco, Guardiola insisted on the relevance of trying to score as many goals as possible, since Les Princes have what it takes to eliminate Manchester City.
"It would be a huge mistake to go out there thinking about what we've done, rather than thinking about what we need to do. The best way to defend yourself is trying to score more goals, especially against a team like Monaco. Going out there to defend our lead would be a good way to kill ourselves," Guardiola added.
The second leg of this tie will take place on Wednesday. Manchester City enters this match with a 5-3 lead.
